When Trump says he's targeting "the worst of the worst" with his immigration crackdown, he means he's dragging a day care worker out of a North Side Chicago center without a warrant, traumatizing the children she cares for.

Immigration agents take daycare worker from inside North Center facility

In a video circulating on social media, agents in vests can be seen dragging the woman out of the school building shortly after 7 a.m.
